Strava Year in Review: How to See and Share Your Season Stats

Strava's year in review is fun but fleeting. Here's how to pull together your real season stats — distance, elevation, and year-over-year progress — and share a clean, public stats page anyone can view.

June 6, 2026

Strava's end-of-year recap is a fun moment — but it's seasonal, limited to the metrics Strava chooses, and awkward to share with anyone who isn't already on the app. If you want a season summary that actually tells your story and lives at a link you can send to anyone, you'll need to go a little further. Here's how to pull together your real season stats and turn them into a clean, shareable page.

Key Takeaways

•Strava's “Year in Sport” is seasonal and not easy to share as a live link
•The stats that tell your season story: distance, elevation, active days, and year-over-year change
•A public stats page lets anyone view your season — no Strava account required
•ActivityStat gives Athlete Pro users a shareable stats page with a rich social preview

What Strava's Year in Sport Gives You — and What It Doesn't

Strava's annual recap surfaces headline totals and a few highlights in a slick animated format. It's genuinely nice to look back on. But it has real limits:

It appears once a year, on Strava's schedule — not whenever you want it.
You can't easily send a single public link to a non-Strava friend or a sponsor.
The metrics are fixed; you can't emphasize the numbers that matter to you.
There's no clean, always-current page that reflects your season as it unfolds.

The Stats That Actually Tell Your Season Story

A good season recap is more than a distance total. The numbers that give context are:

Total distance

Your headline number for the year, ideally split by running and cycling.

Elevation gained

The work that flat distance hides — a strong proxy for how hard your terrain was.

Active days

Consistency, captured. Often more telling than raw volume.

Year-over-year change

The single most motivating stat: are you ahead of where you were last year?

How to Build a Shareable Season Page

You have a few options, from manual to automatic:

Screenshots: quick, but static, off-brand, and out of date the moment you log another activity.
Spreadsheets: flexible, but tedious to maintain and not exactly shareable.
A dedicated stats page: a live link that stays current and previews nicely when shared.

Athlete Pro · 7-day free trial

ActivityStat's Athlete Pro plan gives you a public stats page at your own link — running and cycling distance, elevation, active days, and year-over-year change, always current. Share it anywhere: it renders a rich preview card on Strava, X, and iMessage, and anyone can open it without a Strava account.

Year-over-Year: The Most Motivating Comparison

The number that keeps athletes coming back isn't the absolute total — it's the comparison to last year. “312 km run, up 18% on this point last season” turns a static stat into a story about momentum.

ActivityStat shows this comparison on your shareable page and can also write it into your Strava activity descriptions automatically, so your progress is visible every time you log a workout — not just once a year.

Share your season, any time of year

ActivityStat gives you a clean, always-current stats page you can share with anyone — plus year-over-year progress in every activity. Try Athlete Pro free for 7 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Strava have a year in review?

Strava releases a 'Year in Sport' recap around the end of each year, but it's seasonal, limited to Strava's chosen metrics, and not easy to share as a live page. For an always-available, shareable breakdown you'll want a dedicated stats page.

How do I share my Strava stats with someone who isn't on Strava?

ActivityStat's Athlete Pro plan gives you a public, shareable stats page (with a clean link and a rich social preview) that anyone can open in a browser — no Strava account required.

Can I see my year-over-year progress?

Yes. ActivityStat shows how your current season compares to the same period last year, both on your shareable stats page and, optionally, in your Strava activity descriptions.
